the economy in the commonwealth suffered after the war. those who had been her friend s had died or fallen away. now, there is no stone marking her grave. we have no idea where she is buried. that we do have a monument to her memory on commonwealth avenue erected in 2003. continues to fascinate. in a book, the author argues that wheatley deserves to be acknowledged as the poet laureate of the american revolution. they lived on state street. looking out the window, phillis had an up close and personal view of the theater of war. volumes her poetic arrived on one of the ships teaeved of its shipment of in the boston tea party in 1773. irreversiblyn stains the reality. phillis wheatley was known as in the last years of her life. an african-american man, mr. peters was in and out of debtor's prison. money was scarce and hard to come by after the american revolution, and it took a long while for the economy to reestablish itself. mr. and mrs. peters may have had several children. say there were three, but none of them survive her. we also know

control in spite of in spite of that fact puerto rico is a commonwealth of the united states and its residents are u.s. citizens puerto rico and don't get to enjoy many of the benefits that come along with american citizenship for example they aren't allowed to vote in the us presidential elections even though they do hold primaries for the presidential candidates they have a representative in washington d c who isn't allowed to vote on leads on legislations or other issues and they don't receive the same kind of federal financing as other states of course residents also don't have to pay a federal income tax they have their own constitution and they still get the full protection of the united states' military so while there are obvious drawbacks and benefits to being a commonwealth rather than the fischel state residents on the island have typically remain divided about whether or not they want to fishley join the u.s. as the fifty first state or at least there was a deep divide until predatory bankers from the financial institutions like sand and tear got their hands on the island

i'm joined here by dr glyn prussor from the commonwealth war graves commission.rations. it very much symbolises the real horror of that battle? perhaps nowhere better epitomises the horrors of this particular battlefield. there are even some of the remnants of the german defences, concrete pillboxes, within the cemetery. 12,000 graves of british and commonwealth soldiers and a few germans, a reminder that this was a battle that traumatised soldiers on both sides of the line. the amount of land they were fighting over four months and months, a lot of it in thick, deep mud, is so small, five miles? you can actually see the spires of ypres on the horizon from the cemetery. it's almost impossible to imagine what this will have looked like 100 yea rs what this will have looked like 100 years ago. but it's important to reflect on the experiences of all those from across the world that came here. tomorrow's service will do that. it will be a very poignant occasion. we are at the centenary, 100 years now, will be commemorations continue? 100 years now, will be commemorat

commonwealth, terrible title but it is meant to designate the notion that commonwealth, democratically owned companies or land trusts or utilities come in national, regional structures, like the tennessee valley authority which was a publicly controlled structure in the 1930s, that plural form rather than state socialism or corporate capitalism of common wealth holding is popular to american circumstances and american culture and american populism in the sense of roll up your sleeves and do it. that is a possibility and it examines how it might actually work if you put together in greater detail than i can do here what it would take and what we have learned and what we haven't learned, part of this is going on, and political groups across the country, and addressing this at all levels to put together a politics that is real politics, at the same time a community building activity might be built. i was in arlington a month ago where just that possibility is beginning to emerge, might we do a land trust here and build a politics for the different content and do both at once, walk on 2 le

and commonwealth soldiers were brought here from surrounding battlefields. remarked, i have many times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon earth through the years to come than this massed multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of war. in 1920, war reporter philip gibbs, who had himself witnessed this, wrote that nothing that has been written is more than a pale image of the abomination of those battlefields, and that no pen or brush has yet achieved a picture of that armageddon in which so many of our men perished. drawn from many nations, we come together in their resting place, cared for with such dedication by the commonwealth war g raves dedication by the commonwealth war graves commission, to commemorate their sacrifice, and to promise that we will never forget. kirsty: the welsh poet was killed on the first day of the battle of passchendaele. we will now hear rhodri jones sing a tribute to him. they hum # y bardd trwm dan bridd tramor — y dwylo # na ddidolir rhagor # y llygaid dwys dan ddwys ddor # y llygaid n

the title of the book is principles in the title of the model is a pluralist commonwealth. a terrible model but it is meant to designate the notion that commonwealth, democratically owned companies of land trusts and utilities for national and regional structures like the tennessee valley authority which is a large public controlled structure from the 1930s the fact plural form rather than state socialism or corporate capitalism of commonwealth holding is a model very appropriate to american circumstances and american culture and american populism and the small p sense in the sense of roll up your sleeves and do it. that's a possibility. then it examines how that looks if you put it together in much greater detail than i can obviously do here. what it would take and what we have learned and what we haven't learned and how you can build on this in your own community. part of this is going on as you probably know particularly the young people who study groups and study political groups all around the country thinking about these kinds of questions of word rico and addressing

but it is not just commonwealth fund data. there was recently a paper in the new england journal of medicine by ben summers and kate back andt did a look overview of the implications and effects of the medicaid program, and basically showed that those with medicaid had better access to care, more likely to have early detection of disease, more likely to be adhering to their magic -- dedication regimen, have better management of their chronic condition, and importantly but maybe not overly appreciated, peace of mind knowing that they had some coverage when they got sick. so moving on, another area that we tend to look at is not just the implications for the people and the state economies, but also the providers. this is the studied at the commonwealth fund did with the kaiser family foundation, and shows that among these primary care providers while they were seeing more patients with reported, most doctors no decline in their ability to provide quality care since the medicaid expansion. at the commonwealth fund, our role is to

we can talk to glynn, an historian with the commonwealth war g raves historian with the commonwealthendaele as synonymous with the horror and futility of war. it is a battle that has come to epitomise the first world war in our imagination, in britain particularly. historians have explained the conflict was notjust about mud and blood and carnage, but when you look at this battle, it is ha rd to when you look at this battle, it is hard to escape the conclusion. imagery of the blasted wasteland, quagmire, swamps, that is what we think of when we think of the first world war. they were worst rains in 30 years, bad luck in a sense for the generals planning the attack. not all the battle was fought in those conditions, the middle part was successful for the british army with the german army losing heavily but the majority of the battle was fought under atrocious conditions, which removed any prospect of a breakthrough so desired by the british generals. passchendaele lives in the memory, a byword for the horror of war, but at the time it was controversial and the prime minister lloyd geo

but it's not just commonwealth fund data. there was recently a paper in the new england journal of medicine by ben summers and gave it a look back at an overview of the implications and the effect of the medicaid program and basically showed those with medicaid that have access to care are more likely to have the detection for the medication regimen. it's not overly appreciated they may have some coverage. so, moving on, another area that we tend to look at is not just the implication for the people and state economies but also the providers. most doctors reported no decline in the ability to provide quality care since the medicaid expansion. so the implications of the various proposals. so to look at the multiple levels whether it is on the state economies and providers. this looks at a recent analysis looking at the american health care act on hospital finances and what we see is that for all hospitals particularly in expansion states can participate and increase in the uncompensated care so that as a treatment or a service

so at the commonwealth fund our goal is to support rigorous analyses, to understand the implications of the various health policy proposals. and really we strive to look at the applications at multiple levels, whether it's on state economies, on providers, on people or subsets of people. so this next slide look at a recent analysis done by al dobson and his colleagues looking at the medicaid provisions in the house bill,, the american health care act come on hospital finances. and what we see is that for all hospitals, to those in expansion states, can anticipate over the next ten years and increase in uncompensated care so that's a treatment or a service for which there is no insurer in the patient's are unable to pay. anticipate an increase of about 78% over the next ten years. just to put a number on that come it's about $114 billion. so big increase but also a lot of money. in the non-expansion states, expect about a 10% increase in uncompensated care. again over the next ten years. may sound smaller but still $17.3 billion. we also have an above analyses like rural hospitals can
